CAN IT REALLY STOP HEADACHES AND ALLERGIES? WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT, TONIGHT AT 11:00. WELL, THE BREVARD RESCUE MISSION IS HELPING BREAK THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS FOR FAMILIES BY HELPING THEM START OVER. MORNING ANCHOR BRIDGETT ELLISON SHOWS US HOW IT WORKS. BREVARD RESCUE MISSION IS A ONE TO TWO-YEAR PROGRAM PROVIDING HOMELESS WOMEN WITH CHILDREN, HOUSING AND THINGS LIKE EDUCATION AND JOB TRAINING IN A SAFE, FAITH-BASED SETTING. THE 5TH ANNUAL WOMEN WHO CARE SHARE LUNCHEON CELEBRATE THE WOMEN WHO PUT THEIR LIVES BACK ON TRACK WITH THE HELP OF THE BREVARD RESCUE MISSION. IT'S MUCH MORE THAN A SHELTER FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN. IT'S A MINISTRY THAT BLOSSOMED FROM ONE ACT OF KINDNESS. YEARS AGO I MET A HOMELESS WOMAN WITH A CHILD AND THAT'S HOW ALL THIS STARTED. CHANGED MY LIVES AND CHANGED DIRECTION AND STARTED THIS ORGANIZATION IN 2008 AND GOD PROVIDED THIS BUILDING IN 2009 AND WE'VE HELPED OVER 100 FAMILIES. IT'S PHENOMENAL WHAT'S BEEN ABLE TO HAPPEN. IT'S A SAFETY NET AND IT'S GOING TO CATCH THEM WHEN THEY FALL. IT PROVIDES LIFE SKILLS TRAINING, TRANSPORTATION, ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND ENENCOURAGEMENT TO HELP WOMEN REACH LONG-TERM SELF-SUFFICIENCY. WE WALK THROUGH THE PROGRAM WITH THEM. WE DON'T JUST SAY HERE'S THE STRATEGY. WE WALK THROUGH WITH THEM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY TO MAKE SURE THEY GET TO THEIR ULTIMATE GOAL. IT CREATES A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. MANY OF THE PEOPLE GO ON TO HELP OTHERS. IT'S MORE THAN JUST A JOB. IT'S ALSO A MINISTRY. TO SEE SOMEBODY TAKE THEIR LIVES AND COMPLETELY TURN IT AROUND IS REMARKABLE. I AM BREVARD RESCUE MISSION.
